Why Kombucha Is The Best Drink To Get Addicted To

Kira McClary

Kombucha has got to be my new favorite drink. I get them in bulk, and every time I'm out I always stock up on a few extra. It makes me feel so good and I wondered why. I knew it was super healthy, but I decided to do some research on it and I love what I found. So here are some reasons as to why you should fall in love with Kombucha.

My favorite go-to Kombucha to drink is Brew Dr. Kombucha. It comes in a cute little bottle and tastes amazing. I get it in a six pack from Costco. Yeah, I'm a Kombuchaholic.

The ingredients are very simple and natural. Most bottles contain the same main ingredients. I listed some of my favorite BDK flavors and ingredients so that you can see how simple each bottle is.

Clear mind contains: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Rosemary, Organic Peppermint, Organic Sage, Organic Dandelion Root, Live Probiotic Culture

Lemon Ginger Cayenne: Filtered Water, Organic Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Ginger, Organic Lemongrass, Organic Cayenne Pepper, Organic Lemon Balm, Live Probiotic Culture

Love: Filtered Water, Organic Jasmine Green Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Lavender, Organic Chamomile, Organic Damiana, Organic Rose, Live Probiotic Culture

SuperBerry: Filtered Water, Organic Oolong Tea, Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Currants, Organic Elderberry, Organic Hibiscus, Organic Rose Hips, Live Probiotic Culture

As I researched Kombucha, I found six reasons why this stuff is so good for you.

1. Detoxification

The detoxifying capacity of kombucha is immense. A perfect example is in its ability to counteract liver cell toxicity.

2. Digestion

Kombucha supports digestion because of its high levels of beneficial acid, probiotics and enzymes.

3. Energy

Formation of iron is released from the black tea during the fermentation process. It also contains some caffeine (although in very small amounts) and b-vitamins, which energizes the body.

Through a special process known as chelation, the iron released helps boost blood hemoglobin, improving oxygen supply to tissues and stimulating the energy-producing process at the cellular level. In other words, by helping the body create more energy (ATP), the tea can help those who regularly drink it stay energized.

4. Immune health

The overall effect that kombucha has to modulate the immune system is best seen in its ability to control antioxidant measures.

5. Cancer prevention

Kombucha is also beneficial for cancer prevention and recovery. A study published in Cancer Letters found that consuming glucaric acid found in kombucha reduced the risk of cancer in humans.

6. Weight loss

Data from a study in 2005 showed evidence that Kombucha improves metabolism and limits fat accumulation.

All of these reasons rock. There is not one outcome from drinking Kombucha that is bad for you. Drinking it can only be positive.

Drink on!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
